🔋 The solid-state batteries hype is fading – prompting auto giants to consider alternatives 🚗 The push to commercialize solid-state batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) is well underway, but analysts say auto giants could be on the cusp of turning to a different kind of transformative science. Max Reid, an analyst at Wood Mackenzie, said solid-state batteries are at the start of a long journey toward commercialization. “Obviously, the results are looking very promising — much safer, much greater energy density and particularly the charging speeds, which we think is probably one of the main benefits of solid-state,” Reid told CNBC via video call. Yet, despite growing hype over the potential rollout of solid-state batteries, analysts remain skeptical about when they will actually make it to market. Semi-solid batteries have already been commercialized “to quite a good extent” in China, Reid said, “and actually, my opinion is that, this is the compromise technology that actually will do away with the need of a full solid-state.” 👇 Take a look at the full story to find out more: https://lnkd.in/eUTMqpNB #EVs #autos #energytransition

Lighter, safer, more energy-dense—solid-state batteries are considered the next big step forward for the viability of electric vehicles. They've been the holy grail of battery technology for decades but have resisted commercialization, even against the might of companies like Toyota. But soon, China could be the first to the punch, as Chinese automaker SAIC Motor claims it's on track to mass-produce solid-state batteries in 2026. read on for more info #solidstatebatteries #batterytechnology #evs #ev #china #toyota https://lnkd.in/gesurViY

World’s 1st solid-state battery EV to hit roads in 2026 Stellantis is incorporating Factorial’s solid-state batteries into a demonstration fleet of all-new Dodge Charger Daytona vehicles based on the STLA Large platform. The vehicles will utilize solid-state battery technology with over 390Wh/kg energy density. Factorial’s FEST offers substantial advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries, including higher energy density, reduced weight, improved performance, and the potential to further reduce total vehicle cost over time.  This makes it an ideal candidate for powering next-generation EVs. Factorial said that it is targeting 600 miles of range with its cells. At the same time, it expects a 40 percent weight savings versus a traditional pack and 33 percent smaller size. Most auto manufacturers plan to launch their electric vehicles (EVs) with solid-state batteries by 2030.  #EV #Solidstate

#China’s #SAIC #Motor Says It’ll Mass-Produce #Solid-#State #EV #Batteries by 2026! "The solid-state batteries are considered the next #big #step forward for the viability of #electric #vehicles.

As reported by #Autohome, the company announced at an #SAIC #Group #energy #technology #conference that it will deliver the #tech to its car #brands starting next year. That'll reportedly begin with "semi-solid-state" batteries, which still use some #liquid #electrolyte, and "all-solid-state" batteries will follow. The former will reportedly arrive in #hybrid and #electric SAIC-brand vehicles (which include #MG, #Baojun, #Wuling, and more) starting in 2025, with true solid-state batteries following in 2026. This timeline is consistent with the one #CnEVPost #reports SAIC projected in 2021, indicating that the tech is maturing more or less at the rate SAIC expects, giving #credibility to its 2026 #ETA." #autonews #automotivenews #news #auto #mobility #electricvehicles #electriccars #sustainability #sustainable #evmanufacturing #evmarket

🚗💡 Today's New Innovation in the Automotive Industry: Solid-State Batteries I'm excited to share a breakthrough in the automotive industry that could revolutionize electric vehicles (EVs) - the development of solid-state batteries. These batteries promise to offer higher energy density, faster charging times, and improved safety compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. Solid-state batteries replace the liquid or gel electrolyte found in lithium-ion batteries with a solid electrolyte. This change addresses many of the limitations associated with current EV batteries, including the risk of overheating and potential for fires. Additionally, solid-state batteries can potentially offer a range of up to 600 miles on a single charge and can be charged to 80% capacity in just 15 minutes! Companies like Toyota, BMW, and QuantumScape are leading the charge in developing and testing these batteries, aiming for commercial availability within the next few years. This innovation is a significant step towards making electric vehicles more accessible and practical for everyday use, further supporting the global transition to sustainable energy. As someone passionate about the automotive industry and its future, I am thrilled to see such advancements and look forward to their widespread adoption. What are your thoughts on this innovation? Let's discuss it! #AutomotiveIndustry #Innovation #ElectricVehicles #SolidStateBatteries #Sustainability References https://lnkd.in/e6wXbzAM https://lnkd.in/e-wJTD6U https://lnkd.in/eJCyjH-w https://global.toyota/en/
